- Samsung is changing how used storage is represented on One UI 6.
- The “System” partition is now accurately represented on One UI 6, while the conversion loss has been apportioned to “Other files.”
Earlier this year, when the Samsung Galaxy S23 series had just launched, there was some confusion around how Samsung showcased the available storage on the phones. It was wrongly presumed that One UI took up ~60GB of internal storage, which would leave base 128GB storage variants with just about half the internal storage. However, this presumption was debunked as a conversion loss error. Samsung is now changing how storage is shown on One UI 6 based on Android 14, with the system partitions now accurately reporting how much storage they take up.
As highlighted by Max Weinbach, the Manage Storage section in One UI 6 now has a more accurate representation of the various partitions and files that reside on your internal storage. We’ve attached a comparative screenshot of One UI 5.1 below for reference.
